I am a clinical psychologist who is compassionate and dynamic with over 17 years in practice. I integrate philosophies from the medical, psychological and self-help communities in order to treat the whole person. Also, I am a positive person who focuses on my clients strengths to help them heal.
We will process the loss that you experienced whether it is complicated or not. We will explore the relation that you have with the person while giving you the space to grieve without feeling judged.
I specialize in working with adults and teens (16+) in recovery from mental health conditions and life stressors. Some of these include anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use disorders, eating disorders, loss, grief, life transitions, women's and LGBTQIA+ health issues and trauma.
Many of us have not fully grieved events and people from our past, especially men. I have had people who have been numb most of their lives sob heavily after Hypnotherapy, Heart Centered Breathwork, and emotional release work. Many times there is anger underneath that prevents sadness and the grieving process as anger comes before sadness in grief. Clients describe a huge weight being lifted off their shoulders when they are able to let out the anger and fully grieve afterwards.
Loss is inevitable. We all die and we all lose people, relationships, and states of being that we once loved. If we open ourselves to live an authentic, honest, interdependent life, we are sure to experience loss and grief. Many of us fear it so much that we develop a multitude of ways to avoid it, strike a connection balance that we believe will help us protect ourselves later (yet that often robs our joy in the meantime), and use substances or other numbing techniques to help us avoid the complicated process of grief. I believe we can all benefit from learning to appreciate that loss is inevitable, and to learn to grieve in a way that enables us to move forward with compassion and fulfillment.
I help individuals and couples with any forms of loss, including: deaths of loved ones, relationship losses, infertility or pregnancy loss, life events & transitions, medical diagnoses or terminal illness, job loss or changes, etc. Whether it is sudden or anticipated, recent or ones that occurred years ago, we can work together to help you cope with, and grieve such significant losses.
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist - Marriage Family Therapy
I am a holistic psychologist with over 30 yrs experience working with individuals, couples and business people. I am a therapist and coach who both listens deeply and provides specific tools to help you solve your problems, create better relationships and improve your life or business.
Grief and loss can be extremely isolating. As a society we are not taught how to talk about grief collectively. My role is to meet you wherever you are in your process.
